I did contact Apple Support and the serial number does not fall in the range of any post warranty support machines.

Thank you for very much for your informative reply. Or what the issue is with the board- all parts are soldered and therefore require board replacement, You do not say what exact model this is 2018 MacBook Pro (?) It will be replaced with the exact same board that it is OEM for that model. I have not given up on Macs I have owned three MacBook Pros over the last 15 years and they until now been very reliable. My option is of course to repair it, almost a $600 repair, or buy a new Mac. Does anybody else have experience with this.

My concern is will the new board eventually fail or since this has been reported to be a problem with this model can I expect the new board is more durable. I am faced with repairing an out of warranty 2018 MacBook Pro with a Mac Service Center diagnosed logic board failure.
